Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend-Avesta (Paperback)

""Irano-Aryan Faith and Doctrine as Contained in the Zend-Avesta"" is a book written by Albert Pike. It is a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Iranians and Aryans, as documented in the Zend-Avesta, the sacred text of Zoroastrianism. The book explores the origins and development of the Irano-Aryan religion, its mythology, cosmology, ethics, and rituals. It also examines the influence of the Irano-Aryan faith on other religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The author, Albert Pike, was a prominent American Freemason and writer, known for his works on esotericism, philosophy, and comparative religion. This book is considered a classic in the field of religious studies and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the ancient Iranians and Aryans.He (Pike) knew that the Proto-Aryans and the Indo-Aryans were our physical, linguistic and philosophical ancestors; and he knew that the monotheistic Irano-Aryans were our religious, religio-philosophical and spiritual ancestors; and with his transcendent genius he places before our mental vision the habitat, migrations and early pre-historic history of these our ancestors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
